How did he "marvel," I would wonder? Since his colleagues think our Ts are doing us a disservice, I wonder if he was implying that our Ts may be doing that; and that our not wanting to lose them is somehow a sign of some unhealthy sort of dependence?
Did he mean that? Or was he simply marvelling that there was another world of T out there-- one that he and his colleagues were not fully acquainted with.
Or as muffled says, was he dissing babble?
Of course we're self-selected. We look for people who will understand what we're talking about, and have some sense of our experience, because of their own. In our ordinary lives, we can't discuss T with acquaintances and friends. Most wouldn't understand, or at best, have any basis of reference.
But our finding one another doesn't mean we're indulging in private (or group) obsessions of some suspicious sort. It means that we can learn from one another and also relieve one another form the oppressive sense that each of us is alone.
